Good morning.
This thread is for anyone that has been away from healthy eating, had a gain and is recommitting. We accept all forms of healthy eating here, whatever that means to you. We touch base daily for accountability and to encourage one another. This is a judgment free zone.
We all struggle to get the weight off and keep it off. Sometimes this is a challenge, but we never give up and that is the key. Regardless of our situation or where we are in reaching our goal, we count on talking to each other every day and are blessed to have one another as friends.
Our motto is persistence, not perfection.

Good morning everyone.
I have no motivation for work today. I need to work and not slack off because if I don't work I am going to get further behind and all the progress I have made will slide back. So I am going to push through it today.
I feel like I could sleep for a few more hours though. I have been sleeping ok - so other than just the general busyness there is no reason I should feel tired.
I stopped by to visit with dad after work yesterday. I had some groceries delivered to his apartment yesterday. He is pretty pitiful and says he feels like a burden to everyone. He is so sad. I told him he was not a burden that he was my family and family takes care of family. Oddly enough he has been better than I really expected him to be - however he isn't living with me yet and who knows how that is going to go.
Andi so sorry you are having sleep issues.
Lora you seem to be enjoying Trinket. Will you put some sort of house outside for her?
Susie what is on your agenda for today??
We are trying to get DH's office moved out of the bedroom at home and down into the basement this weekend. Once that is done we can start getting Dad moved into the house with us. I need to decide if I am going to continue to use the bathroom upstairs or move back to the downstairs bathroom and share with DD. We do not have a bath in our Master bedroom. I am really wishing we had agreed on one of those houses over the summer and were in one of those now. Oh well - hindsight.

Oh, Jana, of course you are!!! What kind of support can I/we offer? Do you want to tell us what's on the struggle list? Sometimes just listing it all and getting understanding feedback eases the pain. Sending so many hugs and lots of love, Jana.
I'm a bit grumpy although I did get more sleep last night, just up an awful lot. I'm headed into the city after work to have dinner with DSon and the DGKs. DDIL is out for a meeting or something. My whole house and car now smell of beef stew. I don't remember this ever happening, and I'm sure there are still lingering odors from the salmon I cooked in the air fryer. Too cold to open windows. Dreary here today as well, rainy, with more rain due, and frigid temps starting overnight. Part of me just wants to go home and get under a quilt. Now.
Also ate way too much sugar today. When I go off the rails, I really go. No middle ground for me. I think I'm done now, at least.
Hope everyone's having a good day. I'll be back later in a more cheerful mood.

Hello Everyone...got to the gym this morning, then to DD's and took a walk with her and YDGD. I had 2 things on my schedule, but felt like I had to go to the Event Committee meeting at the clubhouse so the other thing I just had to skip. Then DD and YDGD took us to lunch at Bonefish for DH's birthday. DH went to pick up the middle DGD at school and I went to watch YDG at her gymnastics practice which I haven't done since summer. Had to make cookies for a church bazaar on Sunday, and a dish to take to a concert tomorrow night...I just finished all of that.
Oh Jana..I don't think anything is going to help, except time; however, you know we are here whenever you need to vent, cry, or scream for help. DF is currently in a rented apartment...right? It will be a big adjustment to move him into your home, but at least you can keep an eye on him then. Everything will work out...just one step at a time.
Andi - enjoy dinner with DS and the littles. I think it is supposed to be 29 degrees this weekend...and possible snow flurries on Tuesday....jeesh
OK... I am going to go relax... tomorrow I will miss the gym because I need to go get my DGS on the bus since DSon has a medical appointment in the morning.

Hi Everyone, I know I havent posted since the weekend but have read some. Jana, ditto on what everyone said. We got two new children this week. One boy and one girl. The girl doesnt speak English but understands some. The boy can be sweet but also has some attitude but it seems like his older sister can be quite bothersome so she may be contributing to his attitude. When you tell him something to correct him he makes this face and says "fine!" in not in such a nice way. I had a little talk with him today but it may take several repetitions. Saturday I am having lunch with my friend and an acquaintence at the thai restaurant. On Sunday we have a hike in NJ then a late lunch/ early dinner someplace. That's about it. Have a good night.

Hello everyone,
I have had so much trouble with my internet here, that I haven't been able to post, but I could read everyone else's while I was at work. Lora, Trinket is so pretty! She got settled in pretty quickly, once she met you guys! Susie, busy, busy as usual! I hope you did get some relaxing time today. Andi, good luck with the sleep tonight. Maybe your plan to get up and take the med at 1:00 will get you through the rest of the night. Its worth a try! Hope your dinner was great.. Janet, the Thai dinner and the hike this weekend sound like fun things to look forward to. You have your hands full with the new kids. Jana, so many of us have been through this, and whatever you need to say, or however you feel, I'm glad you can come here. We do care so much, and have a lot of understanding about what you are going through. Everyone's situation might be different, but there is so much in common about it, too. Hugs to you! I am going to keep it short tonight. I just wanted to say hi, and keep in touch. Work has been crazy, and I have been tired this week. I will be back tomorrow, and I hope everyone has a really good Friday. Waving to all, RobinMD
